SYNOPSIS
The story of this play revolves around three women who are arrested with an infant on a beach while trying to enter a European country. They are illegal immigrants who have crossed the sea with the help of smugglers, hoping to be accepted as refugees.
These women have fled war, poverty, and violence, and now, with the infant they are traveling with, they must face the questions of an immigration officer to determine their fate.
The central question the play raises is: how much can the blind fate of one’s birthplace affect a person’s destiny? And if we had the choice to select our place of birth, which utopia in today’s world would we choose?
The main aim of this play is to engage audiences from various lands and involve them in these profound questions.
